SailPoint's Identity Security Platform lays the foundation for effective and scalable IAM within the enterprise. It establishes a common framework that centralizes identity data, captures business policy, models roles, and takes a risk-based, proactive approach to managing users and resources. The platform is fully extensible, providing robust analytics which transforms disparate and technical identity data into relevant business information, resource connectivity that allows organizations to directly connect IdentityIQ to applications running in the datacenter or in the cloud, and APIs and a plugin framework to allow customers and partners to extend IdentityIQ to meet a wide array of needs. An open platform allows organizations to build a single preventive and detective control model that supports all identity business processes, across all applications – in the datacenter and the cloud.
Access History helps organizations track the history of access and attribute changes for identities. You can confirm that attributes, entitlements, and access were provisioned, changed, or removed as expected, discover which identities have entitlements to a given application and how they were acquired, and export Access History results to csv files to document how access stands on a specific date.
